Abstract

Vertically aligned TiO₂ nanorod (NR) electrodes with straight macropores enabled a metal halide perovskite (MHP) solution to be fully infiltrated within their structure and, as a result, formed void-free dense MHP films reproducibly during an electrospray-coating process, whereas conventional mesoporous TiO₂ (m-TiO₂) electrodes with three-dimensionally interconnected mesopores formed internal voids by imperfect infiltration of MHP solution. Hence, TiO₂ NR-based MHP solar cells could be more reproducibly fabricated by an electrospray-coating process and exhibited smaller current density-voltage hysteresis with respect to the scan direction and scan rate than the m-TiO₂-based MHP solar cells due to the short and straight electron pathway either by a one-dimensional TiO₂ NR electrode or a densely formed MHP layer within the TiO₂ NR electrode.
